I had to give up work three years ago. The Inland Revenue said I owed them £5,000 and took me to court, getting a charge registered on my house at the Land Registry. They now agree I owe less, but say it would be too much trouble to have the Land Registry documents changed. Should I insist that this is put right?
It’s likely that the register will simply show that there is a charging order on your property and that the charge certificate is held by the Inland Revenue. It’s unlikely to state the amount owed. As long as you keep your correspondence with the Inland Revenue there shouldn’t be a problem, but you should consider trying to pay off the debt, especially if there are provisions for interest to be added.
